L32: (WC) Joe Salisbury UNR defeated (WC) Alexander Jhun WR 1893 by 3-6 6-4 7-6(7)
*****
The full L16 line-up, since we're now on a new page:
L16: (1) Brydan Klein WR 279 vs Josh Ward-Hibbert WR 774 L16: (Q) Robin Goodman UNR vs (5) Marcus Willis WR 563 L16: (3) Neil Pauffley WR 443 vs (Q) Robert Carter WR 1311 L16: (Q) Harry Meehan WR 2011 vs (7/Q) Tom Farquharson WR 608 L16: (8) Lewis Burton WR 675 vs (WC) Jathan Malik WR 1295 L16: Rudy Coco (FRA) WR 719 vs (4) Dan Cox WR 520 L16: (6) Richard Gabb WR 604 vs Marcus Daniell (NZL) WR 704 L16: (WC) Joe Salisbury UNR vs (2) Albano Olivetti (FRA) WR 315
And I can't see more than one of those seeds losing in the L16. If I was to go for an upset it would be either Klein vs Ward-Hibbert or Burton vs Malik. If it's played on grass the only upset I would go for is Klein vs Ward-Hibbert
A footnote on Robin Goodman, I thought I recognised the name, he went to my old sixth form college! Don't think he can get past Willis in the L16.

L16: (Q) Robin Goodman UNR vs (5) Marcus Willis WR 563
Nice! Guarantees 1 brit finalist.....
His website is a bit out of date but in 2010 he was looking to go to US college?
He's definitely been at college in the US, ditto Matt Frost (Robin, at Drake, Dakota (?)) - there was a page mentioning it on the LTA site a couple of days ago.
Here's a youtube link from last year:

It sounds a fun place to be and he's obviously playing pretty well.

Rudy Coco is a dangerous opponent, especially on grass, so Cox will need to play well. Gabb v Daniell is also likely to be close.

Joe Salisbury, the other Brit who got his first singles ranking point in R1 here, is also at US college, together with another Brit, Connor Glennon, judgng by recent uofmtennis tweets:

All the seeds still there...
I'm not sure they will all be there by tomorrow.
JWH could turn over Klein if he has a good day. Willis, Burton, Pauffley and Cox are very inconsistent. Dan especially has been on a very poor run. Gabb, I think has lost to Daniell already this year. The only seeds that should get through easily are Tom F and Olivetti.
